My plans for New Years eve this year are to be online monitoring damage reports. I want to have a clear idea of just how much damage has and is being done by the Y2K bug and the public response to it.
If anybody out there hears of a nuke plant going critical or a car that won't start please post a link here.
One note that I just have to put out there .. Many large organizations have done their preparations by replacing old computers with new ones and declared themselves to be ready. When they did, the transferred all of the old software from the old computers to the new ones. They are toast. Accounts payable, accounts receivable, employee and client records will probably be a hopeless mess. Perhaps not at the first tick of the clock after midnight, but when the old software tries to update the records .. I would hope that the Credit Bureaus are ready to screen out bad credit reports for folks with bills overdue by 100 years. |
